Why yes, this fixed the problem for sure. It definitely is more responsive for me.

It's a little bit better for me, but it's still not nearly as responsive as it should be. There's just a slight delay for all whammying. It's like the bar has to go all the way down before beginning to register.

I'm glad this turned out to be a software issue. The patch fixed my issue 100%, no delay & very responsive.

"...and whammy until your heart is content."

Actually, Red Octane advises otherwise. From the GH2 manual:

Excessive use of the Whammy Bar can cause it to break.

This patch fixed my problem guitar.

An excellent show of good-will that corrective action was taken in a swift manner.

If you folks were playing a real guitar maybe you would learn some whammy etiquette!
You can't just whammy all willy nilly!

If you play with your whammy too much you'll go blind.

Does this address the tilt sensor problems some people are having? I know I can't get star power to activate even if I start flailing the guitar around like a mace or even by pressing the Back button. The funny thing is, the sensor seems to be working fine when I plug it
into XP. Maybe they can come up with a patch to fix that next time.

*************** WARNING: GH2 brings RoD - AFTER PATCH ! ****************

I cannot say if this is true or not but sooooo many complaints about RoD after the patch of GH2 can't just be coincidence.

Maybe xbox360fanboy.com can get a statement from RedOctane regarding these problems....

Well add me to the list. Downloaded the GHII patch, played for a little bit and all of the sudden GHII freezes. I restart my Xbox and I got the 3 red lights.

The update just bricked my buddy's 360. Niether of us were experiencing any problems with the game and he had played through GH2 for hours and hours--much more than me. No way I'm accepting that patch.

Guess I'm in the minority.

Mine is working great, and it fixed my whammy issues as well!

I didn't have any problems and debated on even patching my game after reading all the issues people have had. But I bit the bullet and ran the patch no problems. I've got a launch day 360 and guitar 95065. I played the game about an hour and a half since I patched it and from what I've read thats more than enough time to have induced a crash.

This update bricked my 360.. I bought it last night and then the update installed.. every track crashes.. My call of duty disk crashes now as well.. I have never seen the red ring of death until this morning.. MS is replacing it free of charge and giving me a Live Gold extension.. this sucks
